?This year's #TWT2025 offers a wide variety of topics. Perhaps of 
special interest to Taxacom members:

  * Mesquite, TAXONOMATIC, and adapting our biodiversity informatics
    infrastructure to keep pace with the evolution of what we think a
    taxon is - a conversation with Wayne Maddison
  * Natural History Collections in TaxonWorks: Entering a Community
    Consensus Phase
    Why TaxonWorks as digitization software? Status and vision.
    Opportunity for questions focusing on digitization functionality.
    Announcement of *a year-long working group on SpecimenPages*,
    facilitated by the SFG.
  * Informatics opportunities integrating field stations and
    collections, with special reference to the practical needs and
    opportunities at the Illinois Natural History Survey - a panel with
    Field Station and Collection Managers: Auriel Fournier, James Lamer,
    Arianna Kuhn, Enrique Santoyo Brito, and Jamie Minneart-Grote
  * Why are the Earth's scientific collections important? Perspectives
    from a catalyzed series of events emerging during COVID 19 - with
    guests Pam Soltis and Cody Thompson

Other topics include: TaxonWorks 101, AI-informatics, stories of data 
migration, eDNA, geoSpatial data and more

Most sessions are moderated discussions with opportunities for your 
input. Hear from people that inspire us, and add your voice to the
